Client was referred to counseling by his school counselors, because they wanted to know why the client is constantly absent and why when he comes to school he seems to be constantly tired. Client is aware of his attendance issue. During intake, client stated “I know I have been absent several times, but this is because I always forget to set my alarm and when I wakeup is already 10AM or 11AM, so I prefer to miss school than being late, and I know that some teachers had complain that I am always with my head down but I just get tired of the other kids always making noise and acting like little kids, yo soy diferente (I am different)”. The behaviors associated with the present concern is that every time the client is absent, he is not able to
One of the legal implications in the case of Wartenberg v. Capistrano Unified School District (1995) was that the Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) federal law was being violated (west Law, 1995). Since the court found the district in violation of FAPE, it also meant that the services being provided in the IEP were not appropriate. Jeremy continued to struggle in school, and despite initial modifications being made, the last addendum to the IEP stated fewer services and no supplemental hours, in a structured educational setting. Furthermore, according to educational code §56341.1 (b) (1) a Behavioral Intervention plan (BIP) must be in place if the student’s behaviors are impeding his IEP goals, his learning or the learning of others (Kemerer and
According to standard III.2.1, "School psychologists explain their professional competencies, roles, assignments, and working relationships with recipients of services and others in their work setting in a forthright and understandable manner. School psychologists explain all professional services to clients in a clear, understandable manner". Extending on the exclusion of an explanation of service to the students, it is also concerning that the school psychologist did not receive assent from the students. According to standard I.1.4, school psychologist should "encourage a minor student 's voluntary participation in decision making about school psychological services as much as feasible", and there was not mention of the school psychologist attempting to inform the students about the counseling session, or asking for their participation. Finally, according to standard II.3.10, school psychologists should" encourage and promote parental participation in designing interventions for their children". It seems as if the school psychologist determined who would participate in the counseling sessions solely based on the teacher 's opinion of the
As the role of a clinician it is important for them to continue in their education and training, keep up to date with the most current ACA code of ethics as well as state laws and regulations. Often times clinicians or counselors believe they are behaving in ways that benefit their client when in reality it was for the benefit of the professional and the client feels betrayed or mislead, giving them a negative view of the counseling profession. Butkus & Mutchler (2012) state that as a preventative method that when an accurate diagnosis of ADHD is recognized it is the responsibility of the clinicians “to share all the options available to youth and their families in treatment for ADHD [and/or other mental health] related issues” (p.933).
Case conceptualization explains the nature of a client’s problem and how they develop such problem ( Hersen, & Porzelius, p.3, 2002) In counseling, assessment is viewed as a systematic gathering of information to address a client’s presenting concerns effectively. The assessment practice provides diagnostic formulation and counseling plans, and aids to identify assets that could help the client cope better with concern that they are current. Assessment is present as a guide for treatment and support in the “evaluation process. Although many methods can be employed to promote a thorough assessment, no one method should be used by itself” (Erford, 2010, p.269-270). Eventually, it is the counselor's job to gain adequate information concerning the client and the client's presenting concerns to establish an effective treatment strategy. Using a combination of assessment techniques increases the likelihood of positive interventions and promotes successful treatment (Erford, 2010, p.271). A case conceptualization reflects how the professional counselor understands the nature of the presenting problems and includes a diagnostic formulation. Case conceptualization organizes assessment data into meaningful outline, applying research, and theory to make sense of client’s current problem.

During assessment I met with Steve, his mother, and the attendance counselor to assess the problem with attendance and discuss ways to encourage coming to school regularly. As the meeting concluded, a goal for increased attendance was set, in order for Steve to improve his academic grades. Throughout our initial meetings, Steve was closed off. Steve refused to express reasons for the issues at school. Brandell (2010) stated, “Adolescents often demonstrate resistance before and during the course of therapy because of their wish of autonomy and their fear that the therapist- an agency of the parents- will attempt to transform them…” (p. 141). This manifestation of refusal to mandated treatment in the preliminary stages of my work with Steve provided an opportunity to actively involve him in addressing the issue within a ‘safe enough space’. However, it became evident that Steve did not want to discuss poor attendance and behavioral issues because it caused him great dis...
Clients face problems every day that range from small to large, to short and long term. Professionals use helping skills to solve these problems and to help the clients reach their goals. Professionals must be prepared before a client comes in to give them the best helping experience possible (Introduction to Human Services, 2011).
School counseling has evolved over the years into a significant component of the educational system. School counselors are taking on new roles in schools as leaders, working with “school administration and staff in developing student attitudes and behavior which are necessary to maintain proper control, acceptable standards of self-discipline and a suitable learning environment within the school” (Secondary School Counselor 2012). Counselors work in “diverse community settings designed to provide a variety of counseling, rehabilitation, and support services” (Counselors, 2010). When working in a school district as a counselor, you can either be an elementary school counselor, middle school counselor or a high school counselor. This essays explores a recent interview with a high school counselor.

When formulating a plan, it is important to remember that students do not exist in a vacuum. What is a problem behavior in one class may not be a problem in another; problem behavior from the home may never manifest in school. A key means of decreasing the frequency and intensity of problem behavior and reducing the need for more intrusive intervention procedures is enhancing a student's quality of life.

Here are some of the potential business risks - Loss of customer faith If the customers of DT games were to see that there was a security breach in the news they would begin to think about the business and about using the business in the future.

Customer participation in healthcare system is an interesting trends emerging in various part of words, that traditionally the health sector has seen consumers as passive recipients of health care. Implementing consumer participation is therefore an ongoing change process, requiring a cultural shift towards recognizing the consumer as an actively engaged healthcare participant (Vago, 2012). In many countries, there are strong social and political reasons why governments and health professionals are responding to consumers' requests to be more involved in the wide range of decisions that need to be made about their health care, from individual through to system-wide levels. Many health care consumers, in fact, consider it to be their right that they are included in various decision-making processes and that they are provided with
Difficult customers are just part of doing business today. “Difficult customers could be those in which you have to deal with negative, rude, angry, complaining, or aggressive people. These are just a few of the types of potentially difficult interactions” (Street). From time to time, you will also find the need to help customers who can be designated as difficult, but in a different way: Lack of knowledge about your product, service and or policies, dissatisfaction with your service and or product, demanding, talkative, internal customers with special requests, language barriers and elderly or disabled customers that need assistance. Companies and businesses that know how to deal with difficult customers or customers with special needs the right way allow a company or business to reap the benefits of high customer satisfactions and increased customer retention.
